If the anchor selection is part of another domain, the morph algorithm will ensure that the distance of the domain to the anchor remains constant throughout the morph. In essence, the other domain "drags along" the domain in question. To maintain connectivity between domains linke by a single covalent bond, an appropriate anchor would be the atom or residue the domain is directly attached to. If their are multiple covelent connections between domains, you can choose the anchor to include all the connection points. | If the anchor selection is part of another domain, the morph algorithm will ensure that the distance of the domain to the anchor remains constant throughout the morph.

In the left example, both red and green objects have their respective centers of mass travel on a line. As a consequence, the connection between the objects, which is present in both the initial and final state, opens during the transition. In the right example, the anchor for the green object was chosen to be the base of the red "P". As a consequence, the green object travels on a more complicated path maintaining the connectivity. | In the left example, both red and green objects have their respective centers of mass travel on a line.
